A few more things to say...

I'm not entirely sure me and David are seeing the same bug anymore, but I now know a way to reliably reproduce mine at least: in gnome-terminal, simply type a huge list of kana you wouldn't do normally, so your pre-edit string is 20-30 or so chars long. For example, just hold a key down.

The wierd thing here, is that so far I've witnessed it crash in 4 different ways. I think we may be looking at some kind of memory corruption that is affecting later behavior unpredictably... :\

These range from segfaults, hanging (with the glibc corruption detected messages) on 'futex(0xb7640120, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL' in strace, catching SIGALRM from somewhere, etc...

How do I get copies of the relevant binaries with debugging symbols in? My GDB-foo is weak, but I could try and poke around.
Is there anything else I can do to help? I'd really like this to be fixed as soon as possible, and I'm probably capable of whatever investigative work needs to be done to get this bug elevated in status - I just know nothing of SCIM/gnome/etc internals.

Off to log in/out now and see if I can reproduce this with scim-hangul...
